Congratulations, Luca Gallarelli! Luca, Group CEO of TBWA\ South Africa, has been welcomed back as the Chairperson of the Financial Mail AdFocus Awards 2024. 👏 Speaking about his role as Chairperson, Luca says: “This year the team at the The Financial Mail ZA have asked me to return to serve as a second term as jury chair. I'm hugely passionate about our industry that's given so much and the incredible people I get to call friends a colleagues. Any chance to move it forward for future generations is never something I will let slip. “It's an honour to return and it's a greater honour to serve with what I believe is a flawless jury stacked with values, talent and smarts from across our entire industry eco-system.” Go, Luca! 🏴☠️ https://www.adfocus.co.za/ #ResetCreativity

While near impossible to put your impact on this company into words, we’ll try. Troy Ruhanen, under your leadership, we have truly lived up to our name - The Disruption CompanyⓇ. 🏴☠️ Your fierce passion for creativity and curiosity has spread like a fire through the collective. Because of it, our people have produced some of the most iconic work for iconic brands over the past decade. We’ve won awards, new clients, had big moments, but most of all, we’ve fallen back in love with what we do and worked tirelessly to keep making things beautiful, smart and fun. You are the reason why we’ve been recognized as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for five years in a row by Fast Company, and why we’ll keep doing the brave thing for the next decade too. Thankfully, we have Erin Riley to take up the mantle as Global CEO in 2025. No stranger to TBWA, Erin has been with the collective since 2016, first joining TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles as President before taking the helm as CEO in 2021. In the past year, Erin has overseen the unification and growth of both Chiat\Day\New York and LA as Chiat\Day US CEO. Alongside Erwan Guillou as our newly appointed Global CFO and the wider TBWA\Worldwide leadership, we couldn't have better captains steering this ship. Erin and Erwan, we’re beyond excited for this next chapter. Troy, alongside Deepthi Prakash, Denis Streiff and Mairead McCan - thank you for everything.
After a 10-year chapter at TBWA\Worldwide from January 1st, I will be moving on to Omnicom Advertising Group (OAG) as CEO. I’ve loved every moment of my decade with TBWA, from discovering what Disruption® truly means, learning everyday about a new cultural trend or what’s NEXT; seeing amazing work in all dimensions, to learning new customs and meeting so many wonderful talents who are now friends from all four corners of the world. A testament to Omnicom continuing its commitment to elevating homegrown talent, a few of those wonderful talents will be joining me at OAG in the new year: 🎉 Deepthi Prakash is to become Chief Operating Officer - she is the perfect talent to lead the collaboration with our partners at Omnicom. 🎉 Denis Streiff has been elevated to Global CFO, continuing his 30+ year (!) career within the Omnicom family. 🎉 And Mairead McCan joins as VP Finance - a huge, huge congratulations. As we begin this journey in the new year, I couldn’t be happier and prouder that Erin Riley will take the reins as Global CEO of TBWA\Worldwide. Erin will not just become the CEO, she will also become the first woman to globally lead this collective. Long overdue. Erin is a powerhouse. She leads with both head and heart, with an exceptional sixth sense for what will make a difference for the brands across TBWA’s portfolio. She builds enviable talent pools and brings everyone along with her. With Erwan Guillou at her side as newly appointed Global CFO, alongside all the brilliant TBWA Worldwide folks, the 11,000 strong collective is in the best possible hands. It’s been an incredible 10 years. I’m so proud of all of our people within TBWA, and the wonderful partnerships we’ve fostered with our clients. Thank you to Jean-Marie Dru for recruiting me over here and for his guidance over the years. It’s been magical. More about Omnicom Advertising Group at Campaign US (https://lnkd.in/e-D8UnKk) – thank you for the great conversation, Alison Weissbrot.

It’s hard to be a good agency. The pressures are real and many. It’s equally hard to be a good client. Ideas find no easy path from conception to execution. When client and agency don't align and collaborate, achieving great work is almost a miracle. This dysfunction comes at a great cost—to brands, businesses, ideas, careers, mental health, and happiness. Just as no marriage begins with hopes of divorce, no client-agency relationship begins with the hopes of divide and discord. But too frequently, this becomes the reality. To better understand these challenges and build partnerships that enable great work, TBWA\Chiat\Day and Forbes are joining forces and bringing together senior marketers for an intimate, real, and maybe even raw conversation. 🤝 Let's discuss the Costs of Dysfunction in client-agency relationships and work towards a better state together. 🌍

“We are great at coming up with incredible ideas that get brands noticed and consumers thinking differently, and that is a superpower.” 🏴☠️ From advertising's sometimes unrecognized brilliance to Wes Anderson's whimsey, and Sia's multi-dimensionalism, TBWA\Chiat\Day New York’s CEO Emily Wilcox speaks to Danny Edwards from shots about what’s on her radar. 👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/e7YbKGKT

Soreen introduces squidgy brand mascot Malty to the family. In TBWA\MCR’s first campaign with Soreen, loveable loaf Malty serenades audiences with a playful parody of the classic hit, ‘The Sun Always Shines on T.V.’ The heart-warming ad shows Soreen as the wholesome squidgy pick-me-up for life’s everyday challenges. And the singing Soreen loaf brings the ‘pick me up’ power of Soreen to life. 🌞 Read more via Campaign UK: https://lnkd.in/eHTYATjH

Did you know 45% of women are scared to swim during their period?🩸 To bust this myth, we devised the ultimate product test for Modibodi Anti-leak Period Swimwear. One fearless diver took the plunge in modibodi... in shark filled waters. The latest campaign from TBWA\Australia and Fabric proves the product's efficacy and dispels menstruation myths around swimming on your period. Wearing only a Modibodi swimsuit, freediver and marine biologist Brinkley Davies put the leak-proof period swimwear to the ultimate test by swimming with 5-metre tiger sharks, whilst on her cycle. Keenan Motto, Creative Partner and Co-Founder of Fabric, says, “This simple act is a disruptive product demonstration, a statement of empowerment and a great articulation of the new brand platform Fear Not.” Read more via Campaign Brief: https://lnkd.in/eVqMc_xn
